Aaron Ingram · Answer 1

Courtney is being driven by intrinsic motivation.

Intrinsic motivation means that Courtney will be rewarded internally - she will learn new things and be happy about her newly-acquired knowledge. She isn't looking to get any material rewards due to her interest in psychology - she will be satisfied with the knowledge she will gain, which is why her motivation is intrinsic rather than extrinsic.
